The Big Bark

Roll on April 2025 – and a brand new season of doggo fun!

The team at A Doggy Day Out is tremendously excited to present The Big Bark at Bath & West Showground for the fourth year running. We’re looking forward to a fun-packed day of adventure and excitement. Bring the whole family. Bring your dog. Borrow a dog if you don’t have one. Whatever you do, don’t miss this fantastic day celebrating all things dogtastic.

The event is hosted at the Showground providing perfect facilities for our range of demo and Have-A-Go arenas. There are lots of grassy areas to picnic and enjoy some of the delicious street food and drink on offer.

FREE Parking is plentiful with level access making it ideal for everyone.

There’ll be shopping stalls galore, and more doggy activities than you can shake a gravy bone at. We’ve included lots of chances to learn about your best four-legged friend too, covering topics such as obedience, wellbeing, training and diet. Plus there’ll be plenty of experts on hand to answer your all important questions.
